I've been reading threads for a while and i still haven't seen anything showing DS3 past 400 FSB with the 9x multiplier from bootup. Unless it can boot at 425 or so with the 9x multi, or 425 on the 10x multi on a 6700, i wouldn't consider it.

yes 395 is the highest with E6600 9x multi i thinkQuote:

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been told that this board, while it does clock very nicely, has a plethora of BIOS issues, which can make it quite frustrating to deal with.
Would need further input from owners on the board to validate this though.
The last Gigabyte Intel (I975x) board I dealt with had potential, but stuff like broken memory dividers and the utter inability to run CAS3 made it a complete headache.

Anantech also say at the bottom of the page.
The ASUS P5W-DH also reached 4.0GHz with an X6800 (stock 266 x15 at 1.575V) and an E6600 at 445FSB x 9x multiplier. All of these results are outstanding, representing overclocks at stock ratio as high as 67%.
btw I can boot with my E6600 at 450FSB.
Well 450 with the P5W and 390 with the DS3, i think we have a winner as far as the 6600 is concerned. DS3 seems like a good choice for anything cheaper than the 6600 though.
